Chapter 567 Mr. Lanqi's Summer Dinner

In this midsummer, the mansion next to Lisandra's house is always brightly lit and full of music at night.

"Is there anything I need to pay attention to when I meet Mr. McCarthy?"

Although Lisandra felt a little tired after a long journey home after work.

But since the other party took the initiative to invite her, she was surprised and felt that the opportunity was rare.

Going to the palace next door to see it is also a rare relaxation.

Maybe tomorrow I can tell it to the princess as a new experience and interesting story.

The only thing that made Lisandra feel a little nervous was that she wondered if the other party was a demon who was too unattainable. After all, in the mouths of the demons, his existence was too mysterious.

"Don't worry about anything. He is not what you imagine any demon to be."

The serious butler Luca rarely smiled and stopped for a while and said.

"..."

Lisandra followed the butler through the path, and her vision instantly opened up from the woods.

In the azure garden, male and female guests were like night moths, circling among whispers, wine and stars.

On tidal nights, guests jumped from the waterside into the blue waves or bathed in the moonlight on the beach. Several magic boats drew white ripples in the harbor, dragging water skis.

Luxurious magic vehicles transformed into buses, traveling back and forth in the city under the moonlight to pick up guests.

The well-trained and agile gardeners, like troops, will use rags, brushes, hammers and gardening shears to clean the garden in real time and transport away garbage such as fruit peels.

Lysandra remembered that every morning when she set out for the palace, she would see dozens of baskets of freshly picked demonic fruits from growers in the suburbs of Nakalis.

She understood after passing through the outer garden and entering the restaurant. These fruits were split in two, the cores were removed and the flesh was dug out, leaving only the flesh. The magic device in the restaurant only needed simple operation by the servants to squeeze out hundreds of glasses of cold fresh juice in half an hour.

Standing in the lobby of the restaurant, Lisandra's sight was instantly attracted by the brilliance of the sky.

The three-dimensional relief of the Age of Gods carved on the dome was as bright as stars, and the magnificent wall lamps reflected the light-colored stone carvings, and countless bright light marks were carved on the pure chalk stone floor.

It was reflected from top to bottom, as if she was in the Age of Gods.

She couldn't help but wonder what kind of artwork this demon left behind.

Between the banquet tables, the silver candlesticks shone in the firelight, reflecting the shadows of light dancing in the air. The demons in luxurious clothes were holding a dinner party. They toasted to each other, and laughter and conversation echoed in the banquet hall.

They were drunk with money and paper, and extravagant.

Unlike the fallen nobles like Lisandra, the other guests here seemed to be the real upper class dignitaries of Nakaris today. The few demons whose faces she recognized were the ministers of the demon world who she didn't even dare to greet near the palace on weekdays.

The halo made her feel a little dizzy for a while.

When she came back to her senses, she found that the butler had said goodbye and walked away, starting his busy work. A corresponding servant also came to her side and guided her around the banquet.

The bar was busy, and the servants kept sending out trays of drinks like flying.

This was Lisandra's first time to visit McCarthy's home.

She believed that there were not many guests invited tonight.

This was a membership-based high-end custom restaurant. Lisandra didn't even know what the threshold was to become a member of this restaurant. She only knew that if she was not Mr. McCarthy's neighbor, she would probably have no chance to set foot in such a palace.

"As a new noble, Lord Thunder Gareth Nocta needs the noble blood of the royal family to prove the value of the Nocta clan. This time, the preparations are not small."

When the voice reached Lisandra's ears, perhaps because she cared about and understood limited things, the complicated information in the noise was passively filtered by her into a few words that she could understand.

"The Greenwald family has a better chance of winning. Lord Orion Greenwald of the Mist has a very deep background. It is said that he has found the strongest craftsman in the demon world to work for him."

"I think Lord Maya Esmode Belphago, who is a civil official, has the highest artistic talent and may have the greatest hope of impressing the princess."

"Lord Fallen has made a lot of concessions in order to let the demons win. As long as the paintings are submitted to the sealed golden cabinet on the first floor of the Regent Hall of the Royal Palace in the next week, Lord Fallen will open the seal and be fair on the day of the ceremony, allowing the princess to publicly choose the paintings she likes."

The hall was filled with laughter and cheers, casual greetings, forgotten introductions, and heated chats between demons who did not know each other's names. The celebrities of various demons changed rapidly, sometimes expanding due to the joining of new demons, sometimes dispersing, and then reorganizing.

Painting on the spot is time-consuming and difficult to predict, so Lord Fallen simply let the big demons paint at their favorite places and hand them in before the ceremony is finalized.

Lord Fall will naturally judge who the magic power on the painting belongs to, and determine when the painting was completed based on the nature of the magic power.

"Anyway, we will see the results at the princess selection ceremony in a week."

Lord Thunder's Nocta family, Lord Mist's Greenwald family, Lord Maya's Belfa family, have all had more or less contact with Lisandra these days, so she has a particularly deep impression of these names.

Lisandra knew that with her own abilities, she might never have contact with the family of the great demon clan at the top of the demon world in her life. The only time might be because of her current position.

The royal ceremony where the princess selected paintings might invite many demon world celebrities in this restaurant and be eligible to participate, and Lisandra was also fortunate to be able to accompany the princess.

Just like she was invited to this palace restaurant at this moment, it was also one of the few coincidences in her life.

"By the way, will I meet Mr. McCarthy?"

Lisandra walked among the many demon celebrities uncomfortably, not daring to bump into other demons or attract their attention.

"Sometimes we may not be able to find Mr. McCarthy here quickly, but I think as an invited guest, he must want to see you."

The attendant explained to Lisandra in a friendly manner.

Lisandra nodded.

She found that there were always demons in the lobby who would talk about McCarthy, but they didn't seem to know much about him. After curiously asking where Mr. McCarthy was, they roamed freely, as if they were in a paradise.

Even these real demon nobles had never seen McCarthy's true face, so would she really have a chance to meet this neighbor?

"But all the expenses tonight are borne by Mr. McCarthy. Except for the limited dishes, you can enjoy the rest. Please enjoy the restaurant at ease without worrying about anything."

After briefly introducing the matters in the restaurant, the soldier-like attendant left and devoted himself to his work.

Next, Lisandra tried to ask several wealthy ladies who seemed to be easier to talk to about McCarthy's whereabouts.

She still wanted to find her neighbor, after all, she was holding a note signed by "Rocky McCarthy" instead of a membership certificate.

The wealthy ladies all responded with surprised eyes, saying that they didn't know, but they were a little interested in her.

"Did Mr. McCarthy personally invite you?"

They looked at Lisandra from head to toe with some suspicion.

"Of course not, of course not."

Lisandra waved her hands, smiled awkwardly and said a few words before walking away.

Now she felt more and more that "Rocky McCarthy invited her" seemed to be a mistake, and it would be difficult for other demons to believe it.

If she didn't see Mr. McCarthy tonight, it would be quite embarrassing.

So, Lisandra secretly walked towards the dessert table - only there would she not feel boring and lonely.

"I wonder if I can take some away and bring it to the princess."

She stared at the cat-head caramel pudding decorated with black rose petals and raspberry jam, and murmured in a barely audible voice.

The upper layer is a crispy shell, and the lower layer is a delicate cream pudding, decorated with fragrant rose petals and sweet and sour raspberry jam. It is exquisitely made and looks particularly cute.

The level of this restaurant should be worthy of the status of a princess.

It was just like it was made for a princess.

Just as Lisandra was about to have a luxurious meal in boredom.

Suddenly someone called her name.

"Lisandra Pukli?"

"..."

Lisandra stopped her hand reaching out to Pudding in surprise and looked in the direction of the voice.

I saw a blonde female demon standing on the wide marble steps connecting the second floor, looking down at the lobby on the first floor with contempt and curiosity.

"Uh, hello."

Lisandra shouted and walked towards her.

She felt that no matter who the other party was, as long as it was a rare demon she knew, she had to accept the conversation at this moment, no matter what, it was better than being approached by a stranger passing by.

Although.

This was a demon classmate she didn't want to see, Tia Nocta.

When she was in school, if she was a poor student, then the other party was an excellent student.

And she was a descendant of a noble family that existed in name only, while the other party was a great noble of the Demon King's City who was impeccable in every aspect, and was also the cousin of Lord Lei Ming.

"I didn't expect to see you here."

The blonde demon noble said absentmindedly when she saw Lisandra.

She shook Lisandra's hand indifferently, with an arrogant attitude.

"Haha."

Lisandra touched the back of her head honestly.

She was always very honest when she was in school, and she would obey other demons as much as possible.

Even though she knew that the other party looked down on her, she would accept it.

"But I did hear that you have been helping the Lord of Fallen recently. It seems that you are playing house with that princess?"

The blonde noble lady asked.

"Not really."

Lisandra felt that it was not that she knew herself too much, and the princess really regarded her as a friend.

"What kind of demon is she?"

The blonde noble lady Tia asked while taking Lisandra to the second floor.

Her pace was a little faster, and Lisandra who followed her was more like an attendant.

"A very good demon."

Lisandra didn't know how to describe Princess Hyperion, a demon who didn't look like a demon.

"Heh, since you can make such an evaluation, it seems that there is really nothing to look forward to."

The blonde noble lady Tia chuckled, crossed her arms, and brought Lisandra into a small circle like a little follower.

"It's a pity for my brother. He may have to marry such a useless former demon princess."

She shook her head and said.

Just thinking about how my cousin Lei Mingqing, as a general of the demon world, had to compete with other great demons for a half-demon princess who could play with lower-class nobles was ridiculous.

If the princess didn't have some old royal blood in her body, and the demon world couldn't produce a new nine-seal great demon to activate the new king's blood in a short time, no great demon would really be willing to marry her.

For these nobles, the princess of the last descent was just a breeding machine full of benefits.

"..."

Lisandra wanted to refute something, but her throat just started to mumble. Thinking of this occasion, it was Mr. McCarthy who invited her, and the owner of the palace had not yet appeared. If she did something rude first and annoyed other guests, it would be inappropriate.

But it is undeniable.

The princess's fate is indeed beyond the control of the princess herself.

She, Lisandra, couldn't shake the result at all.

If there really was a demon who could save the princess and loved her deeply, Lisandra felt that she would be happy for the princess. Unfortunately, there was no demon who could protect the princess like the knight in the fairy tale.

In this era, the materialistic and corrupt demon world only cares about interests and power.

Demons who are in a "high position" but can still maintain their original intentions and are not swallowed by desire are rare.

Not to mention those great demons who are really capable of marrying the royal family.
